What makes you think I will always like you?

Liang Zhirou held her chin and thought for a while, then said seriously: "How about you... treat her to a meal?"

"and then?"

Liang Zhirou suddenly tilted her head, as if Peng Leyun asked an extremely stupid question, "Then confess to her."

What's going on with this guy? Doesn't look very smart.

Chen Lu's jaw almost dropped. He looked up at Peng Leyun again. This guy was even more shocked than him.

"One of you really dares to ask and the other dares to say?"

Also, classmate Liang Zhirou, are you serious about what you just thought about?

You pondered for a long time and just came up with this?

Chen Lu had a lot of things to say in his heart, but he didn't know what to say first.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and Chen Lu sighed softly, and finally couldn't help but said: "I can catch such a beautiful girl, but you didn't ask me first."

As he spoke, he was about to reach out and lift Liang Zhirou's chin. When he saw the girl opening her mouth to bite, he quickly pulled it back.

Huh, he's always clinging to him like a cat at home, but he still won't let him go outside.

"If you round it off... Ruo Xi must have listened to my suggestion." Liang Zhirou was very unconvinced and looked at him with a taunting face.

Chen Lu couldn't refute for a while. After all, Sun Ruoxi seemed to have eloped with Li Sinian after listening to her advice.

Could it be that this idiot actually really understands?

Peng Leyun wanted to complain about the boss lady for giving you such free money, but it made no difference whether he pursued her or not. He was worried that he would be fired from the company in a few days because of his left foot, so after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.

He had no choice but to nod slightly, then turned around and left.

Brother Lu is good at everything, but he's a bit tough-talking.

Chen Lu looked at Peng Leyun's back and quietly watched him walk out the door.

In fact, this thing is not easy. Because he knew that stalking Lin Miaomiao would only be counterproductive, so he waited for ten years.

Peng Leyun just never said it, but a boy who holds 5% of Polaris shares and has such a high annual salary has been single until he was thirty-two.

You can imagine how he was scolded by his family.

Just as he was thinking about it, a touch of softness came from behind. Liang Zhirou had already leaned down, hugged him from behind, and rested her chin on his shoulder.

Chen Lu could even smell the fragrance of the girl's hair.

"what happened?"

Chen Lu was a little surprised when he noticed that Liang Zhirou suddenly hugged her tightly.

"It's nothing, I just want to hug you." The girl rubbed her cheek against him.

evening.

“I’ve been searching around this store so much that I won’t come back again.”

Lin Miaomiao shook the anime poster in her hand, pursed her lips and put it into her bag, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

Peng Leyun stretched out his hand and scratched his cheek, "It feels weird to ask you to give it to me."

"It doesn't matter, I live here anyway. Besides, who stipulates that boys must send girls back? It makes no sense." Lin Miaomiao raised her eyes and glanced at the bus stop sign not far away, "But you, one year With so much money, why don’t you take the bus or the subway when you go out?”

"I only faint in cars."

"Get a driver's license and drive by yourself so you won't get dizzy."

The setting sun was setting, and the setting sun dyed the clouds on the horizon fiery red. The afterglow shone on the two of them, stretching their shadows very long.

"We have been to this place a few years ago." Lin Miaomiao turned around and looked around, "You accompany me to grab the starting spot."

"You actually remember." Peng Leyun was a little surprised.

"I... have a good memory."

The two were silent for a moment, just walking quietly, and invariably slowed down their pace.

She saw that he had something to say.

Time flies, and now we are all in our early thirties, and we no longer have the fear of when we were young.

But because each other has matured, there is a tacit understanding that does not need to be expressed.

Almost reaching the destination, Peng Leyun finally stopped.

"That...I like you."

Lin Miaomiao stopped in front when he heard this, but did not look back.

"I know."

"Ten years."

"……I know."

The atmosphere suddenly became silent again, and the noise of vehicles on the roadside still surrounded his ears, but Peng Leyun felt that the world was surprisingly quiet——

It was so quiet that I could only hear my own deafening heartbeat.

I don't know how much time passed, but Lin Miaomiao pursed her lips and finally sighed: "Why are you so stubborn?"

"Do you know how much time you waste on me? Aren't you afraid that it will all be in vain in the end?"

"I'm not afraid." Peng Leyun said categorically, "I'm just afraid that if I'm not stubborn, when I grow gray-haired in the future, I will regret every day that the person next to me is not you."

"What if I don't live until you are gray-haired?"

Peng Leyun had a heart attack.

He secretly clenched his fist, "In the past ten years, I have proven that I can live well on my own. You don't need to be stressed at all."

"As long as we can be together, I will work hard to make the two of us happy."

"I know I may not be worthy of saying this, but..."

Peng Leyun raised his eyes, and his gaze gradually became firm.

"You can't deliberately miss the entire sea of ​​flowers just because one flower will eventually wither."

He quietly looked at the girl in front of him, whom he had known for more than ten years, and slowly let out a sigh of relief.

As long as you can figure it out.

Even if... the person with you is not me.

Because he and Lin Miaomiao were also friends, Chen Lu never gave him any advice on this matter.

If he insists on saying something, it is to remind him to wait and use time to keep adding more information.

Prove that she is so indispensable to her; prove that she can live well without her, and her worries are simply unnecessary.

Then he bet that Lin Miaomiao had even the slightest affection for him in his heart.

And the chips he pressed in.

It's ten years.

His entire youth.

Lin Miaomiao bit her lip and didn't speak for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, until she saw from the corner of her eye that the bus had stopped beside her, and she quickly said: "But...but I really haven't thought about it yet. Can you let me hesitate a little longer?"

"It doesn't matter. I have been waiting for you for ten years. I don't mind waiting for another ten years."

"Ah? Let's forget it. If you wait another ten years, you'll be forty and you'll be a little old man." Lin Miaomiao put his hands behind his back and slowly turned his cheek to the side.

The fiery red sunset fell on her face, leaving a faint blush.

Peng Leyun waved his hand and got into the car, suddenly turned around on the steps and said:

"I can't forget it. I won't give up."

"I won't bother you, but I'll be waiting."

He looked calm on the surface, but in his heart he was thinking: Damn it, can such handsome words come out of my mouth? !

Lin Miaomiao also waved goodbye to him, but the corners of her mouth raised slightly, as if with a hint of ridicule.

She seemed to be holding back a laugh.

But why?

The bus drove out for a long time, and all the boys who got on the bus at the same time as him were already asleep. Peng Leyun leaned against the window and watched the trees running behind him expressionlessly.

He is still wondering why Lin Miaomiao smiled like that.

Wait a moment.

Her words of "forget it" were actually trying to persuade him to forget it...

Are you still saying that or not hesitating?

Peng Leyun stood up in an instant, startling the boy who was sleeping next to him.

"Master! I want to get off!!"
